Welcome

This website updates the information contained in the Arts and Disability Handbook published collaboratively by the two Arts Councils on the island of Ireland in 1999. The site has been created for practical use by anyone with an interest in arts and disability on the island. The site provides information about:

Disability organisations - the main representative organisations and links to others

Resources - local government, funding and training bodies

The text of the original handbook has been updated by disabled writer/researcher Steven Daunt and edited by Fionnuala Walsh, Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Eimear Harte, Arts Council/ an Chomhairle Ealaíon
